英语专业精读教学中学生赏析能力的培养——以“A Dill Pickle”为例
英语专业精读教学中学生赏析能力的培养——以“A Dill Pickle”为例作者:刘少仙来源:《校园英语》 2020年第36期文/刘少仙【摘要】精读作为英语专业的核心课程,其中心任务是提升学生的阅读能力,即提高学生的理解能力、赏析能力和应用能力。
如何提高学生核心能力之一的赏析能力,是一个值得研究却被忽视的问题。
本文笔者尝试从课文标题、课文主题、写作技巧和修辞手法四个方面,对《一块莳萝泡菜》进行赏析,希望起到抛砖引玉的效果。
【关键词】精读教学;赏析能力的培养;《一块莳萝泡菜》【作者简介】刘少仙(1975-),女,江西师范大学外国语学院,讲师,硕士研究生,研究方向:外语教学。
精读教学在本科英语教学中的核心地位毋庸置疑,其中心任务是提升学生的阅读能力,即:理解能力,赏析能力和应用能力。
赏析能力要求学生理解文章、努力提高欣赏水平,“学会细细品味文章的思想美、修辞美、结构美、逻辑美、音韵美。
了解不同的题材、作家、时代、观点、文体和风格,关切人世间各种问题,倾听过去各种优秀人物的真知灼见”。
只有学生有了一定的赏析能力,他们才能从赏析的视角去理解原文、剖析原文、挖掘原文的言下之意和言外之意、体会文章的主题美、思想美和语言美。
赏析能力的培养如此重要,笔者却无法在知网中找到与在精读教学中培养英语专业本科生赏析能力直接相关的论文。
因此,本论文尝试以杨立明主编的《现代大学英语精读》课文“A Dill Pickle”(《一块莳萝泡菜》)为例,从英语专业精读教学的角度出发,探究如何在精读教学中培养学生的赏析能力,以期填补这一研究上的空白。
一、“课文标题”赏析“居文之首,勾文之要”是对标题在文中特殊作用的概括。
标题是一篇文章的点睛之处,是作者的神来之笔。
大凡名篇佳作都有一个好标题,它们能够成功拨动读者心弦、激发读者的阅读兴趣、引发读者的遐思。
它们或揭示中心思想、或概括主要内容、或暗示行文线索、或奠定文章基调、或明确描写对象、或交代故事发生的环境、或设置悬吸引读者……在进行英语专业的精读教学时,对文章标题美的赏析必不可少。

试论语篇分析在英语专业精读课教学中的应用
试论语篇分析在英语专业精读课教学中的应用摘要:语篇分析的应用对提高学生的阅读速度、对文章的理解深度、语篇水平、语言交际能力具有必然的踊跃作用。
本文通过对英语专业精读课教学现状的分析,探讨了语篇分析教学的理论依据,着重论述了语篇分析在精读课教学中的具体运用。
关键词:语篇分析英语精读教学应用1. 精读课教学现状在目前的大学英语精读教学中存在这样的问题,很多学生掌握了大纲要求的词汇,语法知识也很扎实,却可能在读一篇生词不多的文章时抓不住其主旨。
还有的学生学了多年的英语却写不出一封简单得体的书信,至于在课堂上就一个问题发表自己的看法时,表述不清、前后矛盾的情况就更为普遍了。
究其原因,主要是教师在教学过程中往往着重于字、词、句的分析和语法讲解,对学生语音、语调、词汇量的培训,却忽视了学生实际运用所学语言能力的培养。
这种脱离语境、以逐个语言点和词句为单位的教学模式忽视了篇章的结构,既不利于语言知识点的理解与吸收,又不利于对文章的整体把握,更谈不上理解该文章的思想性与艺术性。
针对这些问题,本文试图从语篇分析理论入手,寻求一种能有效解决支离破碎的语言点与文章宏观把握之间关系的方法,以期进一步改进英语精读教学,以此来提高教学效果。
2. 语篇分析理论黄国文教授认为:“语篇通常指一系列持续的话段或句子组成的语言整体。
语篇无论以何种形式出现,都必需合乎语法,而且语义连贯,包括与外界在语义上和语用上的连贯,也包括语篇内部在语言上的连贯。
”语篇分析是指对比句子更长,以交际为目的的对语言段落所作的语言及交际功能的分析,是从语篇的整体动身来分析解构整个篇章。
语篇分析以篇章为大体单位,从篇章的整体动身,先分析理解篇章结构,然后分析句子与句子之间,段落与段落之间的衔接及逻辑思维的连贯,从而使学生具有通览全篇的能力,掌握文章的主题,同时掌握句子在表达篇章整体意义上所起的作用。
3. 语篇分析在精读课教学中的具体运用文化背景知识的导入有助于进行语篇教学只有联系一篇文章所反映的政治、经济、历史、文化等背景知识,才能对该文章的主题即作者的写作意图、观点等做出正确的评价与反馈。

Lesson 14 - After Twenty Years
Drama of the story
When they met again twenty years later, they should find themselves on opposite sides of the law—one was the man wanted by the police and the other turned out to be the police officer instructed to watch out for the runaway criminal. But no matter how much Jim had cherished their friendship, he would not let a personal relationship stand in the way of discharging his duty.
现代大学英语精读重点讲解
现代大学英语精读重点讲解现代大学英语精读重点讲解Beneath my clenched fingers the alder was wriggling like a small, frightened snake. My father saw that I was about to drop it."Hang on to it!"“The branch is squirming," I repeated. "And I hear something that sounds like a river!""Open your eyes," my father ordered.I was stunned, as though he'd awakened me while I was dreaming."What does it mean?" I asked my father."It means that underneath us, right here, there's a little freshwater spring. If we dig, we could drink from it. I've just taught you how to find a spring. It's something my own father taught me. It isn't something you learn in school. And it isn't useless: a man can get along without writing and arithmetic, but he can never get along without water."Much later, I discovered that my father was famous in the region because of what the people called his "gift": before digging a well they always consulted him; they would watch him prospecting the fields or the hills, eyes closed, hands clenched on the fork of an alder bough. Wherever my father stopped, they marked the ground; there they would dig; and there water would gush forth.Years passed; I went to other schools, saw other countries, I had children, I wrote some books and my poor father is lying in the earth where so many times he had found fresh water.One day someone began to make a film about my villageand its inhabitants, from whom I've stolen so many of the stories that I tell. With the film crew we went to see a farmer to capture the image of a sad man: his children didn't want to receive the inheritance he'd spent his whole life preparing for them—the finest farm in the area. While the technicians were getting cameras and microphones ready the farmer put his arm around my shoulders, saying:"I knew your father well.""Ah! I know. Everybody in the village knows each other... No one feels like an outsider.""You know what's under your feet?""Hell?" I asked, laughing."Under your feet there's a well. Before I dug I called in specialists from the Department of Agriculture; they did research, they analyzed shovelfuls of dirt; and they made a report where they said there wasn't any water on my land. With the family, the animals, the crops, I need water. When I saw that those specialists hadn't found any. I thought of your father and I asked him to come over. He didn't want to; I think he was pretty fed up with me because I'd asked those specialists instead of him. But finally came; he went and cut off a little branch, then he walked around for a while with his eyes shut; he stopped, he listened to something we couldn't hear and then he said to me: "Dig right here, there's enough water to get your whole flock drunk and drown your specialist besides." We dug and found water. Fine water that's never heard of pollution.The film people were ready; they called to me to take my place."I'm gonna show you something," said the farmer, keeping me back." You wait right here."He disappeared into a shack which he must have used to store things, then came back with a branch which he held out to me."I never throw nothing away; I kept the alder branch your father cut to find my water. I don't understand, it hasn't dried out."Moved as I touched the branch, kept out of I don't know what sense of piety—and which really wasn't dry—I had the feeling that my father was watching me over my shoulder; I closed my eyes and, standing above the spring my father had discovered, I waited for the branch to writhe, I hoped the sound of gushing water would rise to my ears.The alder stayed motionless in my hands and the water beneath the earth refused to sing.Somewhere along the roads I'd taken since the village of my childhood I had forgotten my father's knowledge."Don't feel sorry," said the man, thinking no doubt of his farm and his childhood; "nowadays fathers can't pass on anything to the next generation."And he took the alder branch from my hands.桤木树枝在我紧握的手指下扭动,如受惊的蛇一般。

大学英语精读课教学中的语篇分析
・97・大学英语精读课教学中的语篇分析荆楚理工学院外国语学院朱家科[摘要]本文分析了大学英语精读课教学中存在的问题,论述了语篇分析与大学英语精读教学,对语篇分析在大学英语精读课教学中的实践进行了探索。
[关键词]语篇分析大学英语精读教学语篇是人们用语言系统进行交际的意义单位,是一种交际活动。
精读课语篇教学不但是对语篇的评估,而且更关键的是,要在实际教学中发展学生的英语交际能力。
目前大学英语精读课教学中传统的教学模式严重地影响和妨碍了学生分析和应用语言能力的提高和发展。
针对这种现状,教师应当把语篇分析应用于大学英语的教学。
一、大学英语精读课教学中存在的问题长期以来,国内非专业大学英语教学依然偏重语言形式和结构,相当一部分教师采取的仍是传统的精读教学法,即结合语言现象、语言难点、语法规则、翻译等语法式教学。
当然,这种方法有其特有的长处,能帮助学生掌握一定的语言表达方式,扫除语言障碍,打下一定的语言基础。
但是,我们应该注意的是,这种传统的教学以教师为中心、以语法为纲,只注重语言系统知识的讲授,忽视了交际能力的培养;只注重句子,忽视篇章;只注重质量,忽视了数量。
相当一部分学生错误地认为,上英语课只是认几个单词和语言点,对语篇的深入剖析毫无用处,只是浪费时间。
到头来,因没有足够的语言背景作依托,词汇也没有被真正掌握,语篇能力就更无从谈起。
这最终导致学生实际运用语言能力的低下。
二、语篇分析与大学英语精读教学语篇分析为大学英语教学提供了自上而下描述和理解语言的理论框架和实践途径。
语篇分析教学从语篇的整体出发,对文章进行理解、分析和评价。
它不仅重视语言形式,而且重视语言功能,同时还注重文章涉及的文化背景知识和相关知识。
语篇分析教学是与句子教学相对而言的,是句式教学的升华。
它是以获得语篇整体信息为目的的教学,其本质在于使教学的过程成为更符合学生习得语言能力的过程。
语篇教学要求学生课前进行准备,要求学生对文章中的词汇、语法等方面的基础知识自行解决并要求学生结合文章,探讨文章的中心思想,篇章结构、文章题材、写作手法及语言特色等方面的内容。

Richa'ds).比如:①IfeelasifIhadwakenedfromanightware.Wild horsescouldnotdragmedoomtoCapeHornandthatsin—isterSouthernOceanagain.(Book工,UnitTwo)奇切斯特在波涛汹涌的南大洋经历了最黑暗,最恐怖的夜晚之后,心存后怕,用wildhorse(野马)来比喻任何强大的力量(也无法迫使他"重蹈覆辙",去南大洋"重温旧梦").②Therewerenomorebutterfliesinmystomach whenIopenedupanabdomenorachest.(Book1I, Unitsix)作者用nomorebutterfliesinmystomach比喻自己经过几年的痛苦磨练,终于"修成正果",给病人作手术时再也不害怕,再也不紧张了,能够做到得心应手,应付自如.@Itwaslikewalkingintoanightmare.(BookIV,[!nitTwo)作者引用贝蒂姨婆的话把战争比喻成恶梦,表明战争并不象有些人所描述的那样荣耀和浪漫,相反战争充满了痛苦,污秽和死亡.三,拟人(Personification)拟人的修饰手法是把无生命的物体赋予生命或人格.或赋予人的言行或思想感情,借以增强语言的感染力和生动性,使表现对象的特征更加突出感人.比如:@Thefrontgardenwasagravelsquare;foreverg—reenshmbsstoodateachcomer,wheretheystraggledto survivethedustandfumesfromabusymainroad.(Book1I,UnitFour)作者把stmggle和survive这种人的行为特征用来描述evergreenshrubs,生动地展现了这所学校所处的恶劣环境,同时也流露出主人公见到此景时的心情.②…"Help,letmein,pleaseletmein!"But山ehouseswerecold,closed,unfriendly…(BookⅡ, UnitSeven)houses本是无情之物,但作者却用有情人的情感(cold,unfriendly)来描绘无情的房子.通过拟人的手法,实际上揭示了"房子里的人们"那种"冷漠无情,紧闭大门,不友好"的态度和行为.四,换喻(Metonymy)换喻,又称为转喻,是不直接说出某事物,而是用存在着某种现实关系的一种事物的名称来代替另一种事物的名称,或用一种概念来代替另一种概念.换喻一般来说大致有以下几种情况:1.用人名代替其作品;2.用容器代替容器内的物品;3.用人体的器官代替其功能;4.用特征代替人物;5.用事物的工具名称或原料代替事物;6.用一事物代替另一事物;7.用抽象事物代替具体事物或用具体事物代替抽象事物;8.用局部来代替整体或用整体来代替局部.比如:①My15studentsreadEmerson,Thoreau,andHuxley.(BookII1,UnitThree)句中用Emerson(爱默逊),Thoreau(梭罗),Huxley(赫胥黎)分别代替他们的着作,相当于Emerson'S,Thoreau'S, andHuxley'Sworks.②AnotherreasonisGeorge,whostartedasanen—gineeringstudent,thenswitchedtoEnglishbecausehe decidedhelikepeoplebetterthenthings.(BookⅢ, UnitThree)因为理工科的学生主要学习物的制造与运用,学文科的学生主要学习反映人的生活和思想的文学,所以句中的people和things代表不同的事物, 分别代替文科和理工科.五,讽喻(Allegory)讽喻是一种用说故事或其他一些方式说明事物一63—沈阳教育学院2002年第3期道理的修辞方法.文字中不凡具有辛辣的讽刺,挖苦.比如:①Shewas,infact,awomanofforty(achanningage,butnotonethatexcitesasuddenanddevastating passionatfirstsight),andshegavemetheimpressionof havingmoreteeth,whiteandlargeandeven,thanwere necessaryforanypracticalpurpose.(BooklV,Unit Seven)作者得到女士的恭维,受宠若惊;为了讨好女土,虽囊中羞涩,也不惜打肿脸充胖子,谁知一见面,对方是一位半老徐娘.作者用辛辣讽刺的笔墨对他的"客人"描述:40岁是一个具有魅力的年龄,但不是初次相见就能令人激情进发,神魂颠倒的那种年纪!而该女士话多贪吃,一张嘴就露出一口整齐的大白牙,其牙齿的数目多得超过了实际需要.在人们心目中,女士应该是美丽,漂亮,文雅,端庄,而该女士却是一张长着太多大白牙的嘴盖住了脸上一切,整个人物便浓缩成了一张贪吃好说的嘴巴子.②Shegavemeabrightandamicableflashofher whiteteeth."Mydoctorwon'tletmenJ(anythingbut champagne."(BookⅣ,UnitSeven)作者用讽喻手法再次辛辣地揭露了该女士虚府假意"友好地一笑,露出了一口大白牙"的不雅之相,还理由十足地说道:"我的医生只让我喝香槟酒".③Shewavedhim(thewaiter)asidewithanairy gesture.(BookⅣ,UnitSeven)该女士"以假模假样的手势让侍者走开"的丑态实际上让自己贪吃的嘴脸暴露无遗.因为(下文)她立即就表达了自己的心愿:不吃点芦笋就离开巴黎,那就太遗憾了.众所周知,比喻是作者常用的一种修辞手段.它能使文章更生动,更形象,更鲜明,更感人.正确理解比喻语言是阅读的重要技能,它能帮助读者更好地理解文章的内容,提高欣赏水平和审美能力;也有助于读者体会到文章的"感染力",更好地理解语言的"神奇功能",使许多看似费解的语言现象变得妙不可言,从而更好地欣赏作品.参考文献:1]翟象俊.大学英语?精读[M].上海:上海外语教育出版社,1997.2]包天仁.英语辅导报(合订本)[N].通化:英语辅导报社,1987—2(K)O.[3]徐启江.大学英语(精读)修订本学习手册[M].武汉:武汉工业大学出版社,1998[4]井升华.大学英语(精读)教学与辅导[M].上海:上海外语教育出版社,1998.[5]孙亦丽.大学英语(精读)学习精要[M].北京:科学技术文献出版社,1998.

大学英语精读1第三版课文英汉对照分析解析
UNIT 1As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier.课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。
Some Strategies for Learning EnglishLearning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort.学习英语绝非易事。
它需要刻苦和长期努力。
Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them.虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。
以下便是其中的几种。
1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary.1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。

现代大学英语精读的重点讲解
现代大学英语精读的重点讲解现代大学英语精读的重点讲解I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touching was the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.One day I walked into the chamber of commerce in Jamestown, Tenn. to find out about camping in the area. The executive director, Baxter Wilson, 59, handed me a brochure for a local campground. Seeing that it cost $12, I replied, "No, that's all right. I'll try something else." Then he saw my backpack. "Most people around here will let you pitch a tent on their land, if that's what you want," he said. Now we're talking, I thought. "Any particular direction?" I asked. "Tell you what. I've got a big farm about ten miles south of here. If you're here at 5:30, you can ride with me."I accepted, and we drove out to a magnificent country house. Suddenly I realized he'd invited me to spend the night in his home. His wife, Carol, a seventh-grade science teacher, was cooking a pot roast when we walked into the kitchen. Baxter explained that local folks were "mountain stay-at-home people" who rarely entertained in their house. "When we do," he said, "it's usually kin." This revelation made my night there all the more special.The next morning when I came downstairs, Carol asked if I'd come to their school and talk to her class about my trip. I agreed, and before long had been scheduled to talk to every class in the school. The kids were attentive and kept asking all kinds of questions: Where were people the kindest? How many pairs of shoes did you have? Did anybody try to run you over? Did youfall in love with someone? What were you most afraid of?Although I hadn't planned it this way, I discovered that a patriotic tone ran through the talks I gave that afternoon. I told the students how my faith in America had been renewed. I told them how proud I was to live in a country where people were still willing to help. I told them that the question I had had in mind when I planned this journey was now clearly answered. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.对于那些搭乘我、给我提供食物、遮蔽和礼物的人,我都心怀感激。

Lsaac Bashevis Singer (1904—1991) was born in a Jewish village in Poland. In 1935 he immigrated to New York. Singer wrote many stories and novels, as well as books for juveniles and four autobiographies (including Lost in America, 1981). In 1978 his work received world attention when he was awarded the Noble Prize in Literature. The Son from America------lsaac Bashevis Singer The village of Lentshin was tiny. It was surrounded by little huts with thatchad roofs. Between the huts there were fields, where the owners planted vegetables or pastured their goats. In the smallest of these huts lived old Berl, a man in his eighties, and his wife Berlcha. Old Berl was one of the Jews driven from Russia who had settled in Poland. He was short, broad-shouldered, and had a small white beard, and in summer and winter he wore a sheepskin hat, a padded cotton jacket, and stout boots. He had a half acre of field, a cow, a goat, and chickens. The couple had a son, Samuel, who had gone to America forty years ago. It was said in Lentshin that he became a millionaire there. Every month, the Lentshin letter carrier brought old Berl a money order and a letter that no one could read because many of the words were English. How much money Samuel sent his parents remained a secret. They never seemed to use the money. What for? The garden, the cow, and the goat provided most of their needs. No one cared to know where Berl kept the money that his son sent him. The hut consisted of one room, which contained all their belongings: the table, the shelf for meat, the shelf for milk foods, the two beds, and the clay oven. Sometimes the chickens roosted in the woodshed and sometimes, when it was cold, in a coop near the oven. The goat, too, found shelter inside when the weather was bad. The more prosperous villagers had kerosene lamps, but Berl and his wife did not believe in new gadgets. Only for the Sabbath would Berlcha buy candles at the store. In summer, the couple got up at sunrise and retired with the chickens. In the long winter evenings, Berlcha spun flax and Berl sat beside her in the silence of those who enjoy their rest. Once in a while when Berl came home from the synagogue, he brought news to his wife. In Warsaw there were strikers who demanded that the czar abdicate. Somebody by the name of Dr. Herzl had come up with the idea that Jews should settle again in Palestine. Berlcha listened and shook her head. Her face was yellowish and wrinkled like a cabbage leaf. She was half deaf. Berl had to repeat each word he said to her. Here in Lentshin nothing happened except usual events: a cow gave birth to a calf, a young couple got married. Actually, Lentshin had become a village with few young people. The young men left for Zakroczym, for Warsaw, and sometimes for the United States. Like Samuel, they sent letters and photographs in which the men wore top hats and the women fancy dresses. Berl and Berlcha also received such photographs. But their eyes were failing and neither he nor she had glasses. They could barely make out the pictures. Samuel had sons and daughters—and grandchildren. Their names were so strange that Berl and Berlcha could never remember them. But what difference do names make? America was on the other side of the ocean, at the edge of the world. A talmud teacher who came to Lentshin had said that Americans walked with their heads down and their feet up. Berl and Berlcha could not grasp this. How was it possible? But since the teacher said so it must be true. One Friday morning, when Berlcha was kneading the dough for the Sabbath loaves, the door opened and a noblemanentered. He was so tall that he had to bend down to get through the door. He was followed by the coachman who carried two leather suitcases. In astonishment Berlcha raised her eyes. The nobleman looked around and said to the coachman in Yiddish, "Here it is." He took out a silver ruble and paid him. Then he said, "You can go now." When the coachman closed the door, the nobleman said, "Mother, it's me, your son Samuel-Sam." Berlcha heard the words and her legs grew numb. The nobleman hugged her, kissed her forehead, both her cheeks, and Berlcha began to cackle like a hen, "My son!" At that moment Berl came in from the woodshed, his arms piled with logs. The goat followed him. When he saw a nobleman kissing his wife, Berl dropped the wood and exclaimed, "What is this?" The nobleman let go of Berlcha and embraced Berl. "Father! " For a long time Berl was unable to utter a sound. Then he asked, "Are you Samuel?" "Yes, Father, I am Samuel. " "Well, peace be with you. " Berl grasped his son's hand. He was still not sure that he was not being fooled. Samuel wasn't as tall and heavy as this man, but then Berl reminded himself that Samuel was only fifteen years old when he had left home. Berl asked, "Why didn't you let us know that you were coming?" "Didn't you receive my cable?" Samuel asked. Berl did not know what a cable was. Berlcha had scraped the dough from her hands and enfolded her son. "I never thought I could live to see this. Now, I am happy to die," Berlcha said. Berl was amazed. These were just the words he could have said earlier. After a while Berl came to himself and said, "Pescha, you will have to make a double Sabbath pudding in addition to the stew." It was years since Berl had called Berlcha by her given name. Only now did Berlcha begin to cry. Yellow tears ran from her eyes, and everything became dim. Then she called out, "It's Friday—I have to prepare for the Sabbath." Yes, she had to knead the dough for the loaves. With such a guest, she had to make a larger Sabbath stew. The winter day is short and she must hurry. Her son understood what was worrying her, because he said, "Mother, I will help you." The nobleman took off his jacket and remained in his vest, on which hung a solidgold-watch chain. He rolled up his sleeves. "Mother, I was a baker for many years in New York," he said, and he began to knead the dough. Berlcha wept for joy. Her strength left her, and she slumped onto the bed. Berl said, "Women will always be women." And he went to the shed to get more wood. The goat sat down near the oven; she gazed with surprise at this strange man. The neighbors had heard the good news that Berl's son had arrived from America and they came to greet him. The women began to help Berlcha prepare for the Sabbath. Some laughed, some cried. The room was full of people, as at a wedding. After Berlcha lit the candles, father and son went to the little synagogue across the street. A new snow had fallen. The son took large steps, but Berl warned him, "Slow down." In the synagogue the Jews sang their prayers. All the time, the snow outside kept falling. When Berl and Samuel left the Holy Place, the village was unrecognizable. Everything was covered in snow. One could see only the contours of the roofs and the candles in the windows. Samuel said, "Nothing has changed here." Berlcha had prepared fish, chicken soup with rice, meat, carrot stew. The family ate and drank, and when it grew quiet for a while one could hear the chirping of the house cricket. After the final prayer Samuel asked, "Father, what did you do with all the money I sent you?" Berl raised his white brows. "It's here." "Didn't you put it in a bank?" "There is no bank in Lentshin." "Where do you keep it?" Berl hesitated. "One is not allowed to touch money on the Sabbath, but I will show you. "He crouched beside the bed and began to shove something heavy. A boot appeared. Its top was stuffed with straw. Berl removed the straw and the son saw that the boot was full of gold coins. He lifted it. "Father, this is a treasure!" he called out. "Well." "Why didn't you spend it?" "On what? Thank God, we have everything." "Why didn't you travel somewhere?" "Where to? This is our home." The son asked one question after the other, but Berl's answer was always the same: They had everything. The garden, the cow, the goat, the chickens provided them with all they needed. The son said, "If thieves knew about this, your lives wouldn't be safe." "There are no thieves here." "What will happen to the money?" "You take it." ” Slowly, Berl and Berlcha grew accustomed to their son and his American Yiddish. Berlcha could hear him better now. She even recognized his voice. He was saying, "Perhaps we should build a larger synagogue." "The synagogue is big enough," Berl replied. "Perhaps a home for old people." "No one sleeps in the street." The next day after the Sabbath meal was eaten, Berl and Berlcha lay down for a nap. They soon began to snore. The goat, too, dozed off. The son put on his cloak and his hat and went for a walk. He strode with his long legs across the marketplace. He stretched out a hand and touched a roof. He had a desire to talk to someone, but it seemed that the whole of Lentshin was asleep. Samuel returned home. Dusk had fallen. Berl went to the synagogue for the evening prayers and the son remained with his mother. In the twilight Samuel put his hand into his jacket pocket and touched his checkbook, his letters of credit. He had come here with big plans. He had a suitcase filled with presents for his parents. He wanted to help the village. He brought not only his own money but funds from the Lentshin Society in New York. But this village needed nothing. From the synagogue one could hear people chanting. The cricket, silent all day, started again its chirping. Berlcha began to sway and utter holy rhymes inherited from mothers and grandmothers. 冷申村的贵客---艾萨克·巴舍维斯·⾟格 冷申村微不⾜道,四周全是⼩⼩的茅草屋,草屋之间是⽥地,农民们在这些⽥地上或种蔬菜,或放牧⽺群。
